I made a monthly meal plan! I make my monthly meal plan using two components:

• What’s happening the upcoming month?
• What do I have on hand in my pantry and freezer?

For this meal plan, after I made my freezer and pantry list, I went to Pinterest and searched for “family friendly dinners.” Then, I plugged in meals that I found we would all eat.

I do not always do a great job of sticking to a monthly meal plan, but what I like about it is that I already have dinner ideas written down if a meal (or two or three) don’t get made as planned!
